Chapter 191
Facing the outstanding performance of the Lakers, Harris was the most ecstatic. He originally thought that the Jazz's unsolvable pick-and-roll cooperation would make his disciples a little overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, he played so perfectly in the opening stage, especially in defense. At the end, it has reached a historical level.

In fact, the main reason why the Jazz's pick-and-roll power has not been fully utilized is that the Lakers have enough control over the Jazz's arrows. Kobe helped Van Exel defend Stockton, and Zhou Yu cooperated with O'Neal to defend Malone. "Pick-and-roll two veterans" can't use their energy.

Therefore, the performance of Hornacek, Russell and "Big Pyrenees" is very important. Sadly, the outside touch of these three people collectively misfired, making it extremely difficult for the Jazz to play.

What's more terrible is that neither Malone nor Stockton is a player with super singles ability with the ball, so it is reasonable for the Jazz to be unable to start the situation.

"Old man, I think if we continue to fight like this, it will be over."

Stockton approached Malone with a worried expression on his face.

"Then what can be done, who will let those three idiots fail."

Ma Long glanced sideways at the three of Hornacek, angrily saying nothing.

"Instead of waiting to die, why don't we try changing?"

Stockton rolled his eyes.

"Change? What kind of formation? We have been playing pick-and-roll tactics for more than ten years. Even when I go shopping with my wife, I can't help but play pick-and-roll with her."

Marlon wondered.

"Old man, to tell you the truth, ever since I was blown away by the 'glider' that year, I learned from the pain and secretly practiced Jordan's back kick stunt. Try this game."

Stockton smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? Really? I happened to learn the dreamy footsteps of 'Big Dream' recently, but due to the strict requirements of the coach, I have been suffering from no room for display."

Ma Long said as if he had a confidant.

"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? We can fight them one-on-one. Anyway, the left and right are dead, so why not give it a go."

Stockton suggested.

"It's just, how should Coach Si explain it?"

Malone hesitated.

"Don't worry about him, we have been suppressed by his pick-and-roll tactics for too long, it's time to breathe some fresh air."

Stockton said firmly.

"That makes sense, and I agree."

Malone hit it off with Stockton immediately.

In this round of the Jazz's offensive, Stockton still controls the ball. While dribbling near the top of the arc, Stockton winks mischievously at Malone, which means, I came first.

"Stockton, what are you still doing there? If you don't pass the ball, it will be cold. Once the ball is cold, it won't taste good."

Van Exel urged impatiently.

"Bald Fan, this time I'll let you see what a Stockton back kick is."

Stockton sneered.

In the next second, Stockton turned his back to Van Exel and played a back-hitting technique.

The audience was horrified. Stockton, who was only 1.85 meters tall and not physically strong enough, started playing back singles. It was simply incredible.

"My God! Isn't Stockton crazy! Why does an old boy with such a weak body like him try to be brave with young people!"

Smith, who was on the commentary seat, immediately shouted as if he had discovered a new world.

"Stockton thinks of himself as Jordan, but the problem is, he doesn't jump as high as Jordan does."

Louis made jokes on the sidelines.

Although there were mostly sighs and taunts from around, Stockton remained unmoved, and carefully felt the opponent's defensive center of gravity while playing back.

Of course, it is impossible for Stockton to push eight hundred miles horizontally with his back hit. His ultimate goal is to make a shot.

I saw that he suddenly turned around sharply, with light and elegant movements, which caused Van Exel to tilt his center of gravity. Then, Stockton quickly turned to the other side, shaking the opponent away completely, and immediately made a mid-range shot.

The basketball crossed a beautiful parabola and fell straight to the basket.

After a crisp sound of "唰", the basketball went into the net hollowly!

The audience rubbed their eyes vigorously, and couldn't believe that everything in front of them was real. Stockton suddenly turned into Payton. Not only did he succeed in singles, but he also used his back-up turnaround jumper technique. Lifelike.

"2:7", the Jazz finally got confused, and they still rely on the singles they are least good at.

Sloan had a wry smile on his face. Now that the ball has been scored, what can he say, but he didn't quite understand when Stockton learned the back-hitting technique.

"Old man, the goal was beautiful, it's up to me for the next goal."

Malone ran over and touched Stockton's head, saying happily.

"The Jazz should have played more passionately. We can play how we want in this game. I will be responsible for what happens."

Stockton said firmly.

"Old man, what are you talking about? I, Ma Long, am a tough guy. If the coach blames me, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with you."

Ma Long patted his chest and vowed.

The two finally looked at each other and smiled, feeling a sense of joy that they could finally live for themselves.

Zhou Yu had a vague premonition that the situation was not good. Even Stockton played singles, and the Jazz was going berserk.

Thinking of this, he quickly called his teammates together, and told him:

"Everyone should pay attention, the Jazz may be going to fight us for their lives, you have to be more careful, don't give them a chance to counterattack."

"Wang, are you making too much of a fuss? Stockton's goal just now was obviously a helpless move. I don't believe he can score the next goal."

O'Neal said with a look of disdain.

"Yeah, Wang, just those old bones of the Jazz, I can gnaw them down to the bone."

Kobe also sneered.

Seeing his teammates belittle his opponents so much, Zhou Yu could only sigh helplessly. It seems that only time will tell whether things are right or wrong.

In the new round of the Lakers' offensive, Zhou Yu originally planned to continue to control the ball near the top of the arc, but was soon double-teamed, forcing him to pass the ball out.

It was Corsi who received the ball. The brother saw that other teammates had scored points, and the original plan before the game was a singles strategy, so he started the singles mode as a matter of course.

Facing the defense of the "Big Pyrenees", he first leaned over a few steps, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, holding the ball and rushing forward.

"Big Pyrenees" was too tall, so it was difficult for him to keep up with Kersey's speed, but Kersey ignored Stockton's presence.

Although Stockton's stealing ability is not as good as Payton's, he is not a vegetarian. A precise "finding a needle in a haystack" directly cut off his ball from behind, and thus organized a fast-breaking counterattack.

The Jazz swarmed towards the Lakers half court like dragons and tigers, probably having fun. Stockton rarely used fancy dribbling moves, changing directions with his crotch, changing directions with one hand, and changing hands behind his back. Show them one by one.

People suddenly discovered that Stockton didn't know those fancy moves, but he didn't want to show them too much out of practical needs.

The ones who got shaken the most were Van Exel and Kersey. One of the two got shaken, and the other knelt on one knee like a marriage proposal. In the end, Stockton didn't take credit for it. Instead, the ball was given to Hornacek in the corner on one side in time.
